Calorie needs: 1800kcal, protein: 80g, Fluid 2000ml
Medication: propofol provides 1.1 kcal/ml
Medication is prescribed once a day.

Answer 1

The medication provides a total of 2200 kcal towards Mr. X's calorie needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total calories provided by the medication, we need to find the volume of medication consumed and multiply it by the kcal per ml provided by the medication. Assuming Mr. X consumes 2000ml of medication, we can calculate the total kcal provided by multiplying 2000ml by 1.1 kcal/ml: 2000ml x 1.1 kcal/ml = 2200 kcal.
